Another Lamp Redo

.

I really enjoyed how my guest room lamp redo turned out and decided to make-over one in my living room. I've had this lamp for a long time - probably 6 or 7 years. There was nothing wrong with it and I still really liked it, it just was looking a little dark and was begging for an update.

Here's the lamp before:

See all the brown and dark tones? Please try and ignore those nasty cords too!

A little primer, spray paint, and fabric, and my lamp was transformed.

I really like the new lighter tones and I love that fabric on the shade! I had just enough leftover from my bulletin board project. I couldn't find this exact color online, but Fabric.com has it in a similar color. I actually bought some of that color recently for an upcoming project - it was a great price and I couldn't resist.

The spray paint I used was Krylon, Dover White.

After I covered the shade with the new fabric I used bias tape to cover the edges, just like I did in my first lamp redo.
